Steward Comment

Near 800m steadied from heels. Trainer questioned re improved performance compared to most recent start - explained having first start for stable today and trialled led well recently and was confident of a forward showing. Added may not have been suited to heavy track conditions at its most recent start.

Steward Comment

Rider questioned re disappointing performance - explained gelding never travelled comfortably and in his view had come to the end of its preparation. Trainer agreed with rider's comments and indicated gelding would be sent for an immediate spell. Trainer undertook to report any abnormalities subsequent to event that may explain the disappointing performance. Vetted- no abnormalities and a routine swab sample taken.
